Senior Show 2026 highlighted more than incredible student work – it showcased the creativity, collaboration and career-ready talent shaping the future. 🎨✨
Throughout the galleries, our seniors shared projects rooted in storytelling, strategy, innovation and human-centered design – skills that translate far beyond the classroom and across industries.
It was also a celebration of community. Friends, families, alumni, faculty, local employers and community members came together to support and connect with the next generation of creative professionals.
We’re proud of the Class of 2026 and excited to see where their creativity leads next.

When you join us for our Senior Show & Celebration this weekend, be sure to check out Change Makers: Voices of Lancaster.
This collaboratively designed exhibition, created by senior students in our Design Thinking program, invites you to walk through a timeline of change in Lancaster. By highlighting changemakers from both the past and present, the exhibit aims to inspire hope, and to remind us that meaningful change begins with individuals willing to take action.
The exhibition culminates in an interactive “future” section, where younger visitors can engage in hands-on activities and imagine their own role in shaping a more positive future for all.
